I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything Marilyn does is different from any other woman, strange and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso.
Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.
Marilyn was a great actress, not a dumb blond bombshell. She was very smart, very astute and a good businesswoman.
I have never been a Marilyn Monroe wannabe. I have always been happy in my own skin!
When you've experienced the real Marilyn, it's difficult to watch a movie about her.' I didn't want to have the memories of my experience tarnished in any way.
I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?
Well, I've maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I'm gonna do my own.
I was standing right behind Marilyn, completely invisible, when she sang 'Happy birthday, Mr. President.' And indeed, the corny thing happened: Her dress split for my benefit, and there was Marilyn, and yes, indeed, she didn't wear any underwear.
What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman?
I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe.
